Bob Ross of DJing, you're a legend man

bro i dont really watch ur vids anymore cus ur course already taught me everything i needed to properly get going, but i just saw this in my feed so i swung bye to say hi lol

Dude your so happy, energetic, enthusiastic, all those kinds words. Quite a lift just listen to you talking

Cue points are a game changer man especially when you are a recording a mix...I use them them all the time now.... Preparation is a massive part of putting a mix/set together...

I like how you explain the philosophy behind the techniques it puts more context into what I feel I am trying to do with technically what I am doing

Completely unrelated topic, sort of. I experiment mixing with many different music genres but i do mainly techno because with techno you can be as constructive as you can possibly imagine. These long drawn out intros and outros make is possible to build your transition basically frequency by frequency or if you have 3-4 decks maybe, make a completely different track on the fly if you carefully pick each song and adjust their eq to fit one another. The fact that you can do this only using eq is my favorite thing about it. Mixing with eq can be so fulfilling an satisfying that once you get the hang of it, you'd never wanna stop. Man i love mixing

Would love if you could make a full CDJ breakdown video/tutorial, especially for the DJs who are starting to play clubs but have only really used their own controllers before. Would be huge!

Brother, I have been DJing for 34 years with vinyl and have finally embraced digital over the last year or so, I have found it to be eye-opening and exciting (wish I'd done it sooner). I feel like I have a lot to learn and a lot of catching up to do. I have been checking out a lot of the various DJ schools/teachers on YT but you are by far my favourite. I love your enthusiasm, and energy and value the depth of detail you go into. This video subject is the exact thing I have toying around with of late, so nice one for that, spot on. Thanks for all you do much love from the UK.

I don't use the memory cues to go through the tracks. I use the Hot cues as the "going through the track" and Memory cues as "labels" of where to mix out etc. If a track starts with 16 bars of beats, the first hot cues are the first beat, 8 bars and the breakdown at 16bars. If there's a vocal "while" that point comes, I put the hot cues on the start of the vocal and a memory cue on that start of the bar. On the end of the track I put a red memory cue on where I should be completely out (end of bar, or right before the vocals of the next part come in), An orange memory cue at the start of the 8 bars before that point A yellow memory cue 16 bars before that point. It's like a stoplight kind of system. If there's multiple of these mixout points (cut a track short or let it play) I put multiple of these cuepoint sets. This is just my default way. It depends on track to track. Some radio edits don't have 16 bars of intro or house stuff has longer intro's etc. So there I adjust it to the track. Or some tracks even have structures that benefit from doing it completely different. I always use Rekordbox to DJ anyway, so I don't care that this might not be possible on CDJ's alone. But this workflow makes DJ'ing way more easy. I do this all in advance when I import the tracks into RB. So when I play I don't have to think about how or where to mix. Just select good tunes and have fun. Many DJ's feel like this takes the skills out of DJ'ing and that might be true to some extend, but I started out in the vinyl days and use the technology of today to it's fullest. I felt like I stayed on the safe side more when I DJ'ed vinyl or in the beginning of CD days. Now I don't have to know all my tracks completely in and out to mix em up in more interesting ways.

Your attitude and patience is a blessing in today's world. Keep it up. 🙌

Hot Cue was the therm used by Denon when they released the dual cdj 2000(1992),that meant you didnt need to long press the button to activate it but a fast push like it was kind of Hot!Thats why the CUE used to be red and Play green! Back in the days the Denon 2000 was the Technics 1200 of the cd players(cdj was a therm used later only with the pioneer cdj 100´s).

i recently signed up to the DJ ready school and have to say the way you teach is amazing, i've learnt so much so fast. I watched a few other people before i stumbled across your videos and then bought your full teaching course. Looking forward to years of mixing great tunes ahead. thank you!

Cool, Hot Cues, are like a Grateful Dead Show, they always liked to hop around in their act

Love your energy bro ..just started DJing ...some very helpful advice and tips ...mixing is like art .....keep up the good work 👍

I love your videos! You have helped me so much!

Thankyou .. the best teacher I have seen

Awesome content, awesome human! I bought the course this last Spring and it is worth every penny!

Thank you for this video! I look forward to watching more. Your passion and enthusiasm is infectious! I appreciate your teaching style, and clearly, a love for what you do! 🙏🎧

Byron Bay my home! Loving loving your course!

great tutorial. I think the old days as vinyl guy, I practiced so much more and knew the cue points by memory

Another very helpful video bro! Thank you. Brought the ddj400 about 5 days ago its very addictive! Music is life 🙌

such a great video. best dj teacher out there no doubt. love the new set up btw !

God I love your videos! Getting back in to djing after 15 years. & these are so helpful.

thank you so much for your videos!!

Thanks for the awesome channel, got a lot of my mixing knowledge from you

Great video! Thanks!

Exactly the topic I was looking for.. Not only you're the best teacher, you're a mind reader too 😁 can't thank you enough for all the content you're putting out there. I'm considering buying the full Dj course, maybe on Black Friday ;)

Great video. Thank you.

Great video!!

thank you man

U are the Bob Ross DJ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩I always learn something new

thank you! Very useful and exactly what i needed to know about Hot and Memory Cues! Good to see that you use Memory Cues the same way than i do.

Thank you so much for your videos they are soo helpful! What headphones would you recommend fpr mixing? many thanks

Great video bro. Love your content, it’s really helpful and the energy’s great! Thanks for doing these videos. Question: How did you set the hot cue to just play the vocal or a short bit you wanted in the 2nd part of the hot cue tips? When I set a hot cue and use it, it just continues playing the rest of the song from where I set the hot cue. But when you pressed it, it looks like when you release your finger off the button it stops playing. I hope that makes sense. Cheers and thanks again. 👊🏼

I love you, Andrew!!! I’d LOVE to go across the Pond. I’m afraid to fly. I hope they have fun!!!

Love the line about a core foundation not solid, not even the tastiest frosting will save it. Also I’ve been bedroom dj for a few years. Maybe it’s time to look into your course and strengthen my core :)

🤘🏻 fantastic , total beginner here 😅 x ty

New studio looking good :)

thank u sir !

I'll be honest, before your course I didn't understand this at all. Beautiful content! Now I'm fully digital, I get this, but I can't get rid of my vinyl. I love ceu-les freestyle mixing for myself, digitally now. Love how you be creative with these hot cues!

cue point is where the game is at!

☝️😎👍 thanks teachr .. viewing here from Philippines..

King👑

Wow, great job! Nice done. There will be time to come to me.

"GOLD" ❤

I like the new studio Andrew, nearly got through the course and will submit a mix to you probably a funky one ☝️

Hey Andrew, first of all thank you so much for the work you're doing. I bought my first controller a month ago and feel like i already learned so much from your videos and your energy is just amazing. It's really motivating watching you. In one of your videos you mentioned a programm where you can e.g. extract the vocals from a track but i don't find the name of the programm anymore. Would be amazing if you could tell me the name again. Much love and keep up the great work.

Sorry if I missed this, but is the first setup Memory-Cue automatically loaded under the main cue button on loading the track? And does autocue have to be off for that? Thanks! Awesome video!

Just signed up for your coarse!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Love you as always my guy! can u show us your dj room? and where do u have your sound insulation installed? and how far or close do u have your speakers from you. i seem to get alot of bass rumble on loud volumes, driving me crazy!! i would really appreciate it if you did =D

Love love love your videos, been spinning since '01 and always learn new things from each of your videos. It's been different switching from vinyl to digital but really loving it! Thanks for all of these great videos that help us so much! In re memory cues, my controller for my desktop is a Numark and I can't seem to find an option for memory cues. Do you know if they are accessible somehow with a Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX and VDJ? Thanks so much!!

Back in the day I needed hold the vinyl at a certain angle to try to see where the track would change. If it was playing I'd use a mini torch to try to see. How times have changed

I can't believe he said that carrying vinyls used to be a 'pain in the *ss" XD so funny. I'm still laughing. :D

Hey man, can you do a scratching vid? I think it's one of the very few things you haven't covered

The bad thing about Memory-Cues is that mostly only the first one is portable. And by portable I mean Memory Cues are basically a pioneer only thing. Denon, Serato and so on are using Hot-Cues and thus can't just import Memory Cues without converting them. This might clash when you also use Hot-Cues. If your are Pioneer only then you are fine. If not you might consider using Hot-Cues and temporary Cues only or none at all.

Yeah I use POIs on vdj as my mixing in and out points..

How do I get my Memory Cues to save on the XDJ700? I press memory after setting them, and the USB icon an the word 'Memory' flashes on the screen when I do, but when i return to the track later, the Cue point is not there!

Maybe you should mention in the beginning that your hot cues are set differently than the default. In default, they play the song upon pressing them. in your case, the songs only plays until you hold them, and after releasing them, goes back to the start of the hot cue.

Hi, I don't want to seem dis-spirited, as your videos are amazing, and your contribution to the djing culture is open, wholesome, and invaluable, however, cue points were possible and heavily utilised with vinyl. Through the 90s, mainly for set pieces and DMC routines, everybody had stickers all over their vinyl. But, more importantly, before that djs would look for the thick black breaks through tracks. This was not as precise and usable as modern cue point setting, however, it can't be denied as a serious tool of a serious dj. Thanks again for your content, and your eagerness to pass on knowledge.

Sorry you are wrong back in the days with Vinyl, we had Cue Points too. We used Stickers to mark them. But u could only mark the In and Out Cue.

Can i change from hot cue to memory cue without mouse clicking in RB?

13:48 Hot cues have been on CDJ's since 2003

I watch u all the time and have tried another dj class and it was confusing. Is there something for me to look at to see the structure of the classes?

Does anybody know if a CDJ 2000 Nexus (not the nexus 2) shows the 8 hotcues you now have available within Rekordbox . I know you can only use A B and C, But I want to know if it just shows them on the display. I prefer to use the hotcues to mark my various start and end points in a track instead of the memory cues. But if the display only shows A B and C there's no point in continueing my preparation like that.

On dj equipment how do you activate a memory cue while song is playing? Let's say you are in middle of song playing and at end you have a memory cue loop that you want to repeat.

Hi Andrew! Following you from Argentina! I have a question/video suggestion (=D) based on something I struggle with sometimes. My main genres are Melodic Techno and Progressive House. Nowadays every track comes with a 1 minute + breakdown, and I think letting every breakdown play out can easily become boring and kill the energy on the dancefloor, how do you manage this? How can we mix around to avoid this? Where to put mix in/out points to avoid this? etc....Anyway, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say! Cheers brother! PS: The best thing about your material, besides the knowledge and experience you share, is your energy and good vibes!! Thank you for that!

How do I make the hot cue not continue to play automatically?

Pressing SHIFT and MEMORY is no longer setting memory cues on my controller. Just suddenly stopped working.

I have been LOVING your videos! Thank you so much! One question... now when I set cue points in export mode, it just forgets them all when I go to the next track. Am I missing something?!

Have Pioneer DDJ800 and have no idea how to set an use memory cues on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Your macbook looks like its seen a sesh before

Why does every time I hit cue loop call it changes to a different song instead of going to my memory cues in the current song

Yes Hi good afternoon my name is Giancarlo Adriazola and I am going to be an upcoming DJ and and upcoming artist would you mind please teaching me what to do so I don't screw up when I am DJing

Can I ask a quick question please? Not really regarding this video.... I was thinking of starting to upload my mixes to various platforms, do my mixes really need to be Matered or can I upload them as is? Thanks..

What’s your dj name?

Hi mate... Quick question... I have audio coming out both monitors and laptop and it's bloody annoying... I've tried to isolate the audio from laptop but it's still coming through.... Any ideas.

how do i remove hot cues from a song?

Your set hot cues like a pro doesn’t exist

Weird tip number 474 When making a mistake …… repeat it … 2x 4x

How can I find active promo codes for your online store?

That perma grin on your face… Are you high like or that’s just the face you get smiling doing the best job ever
